FACT: Good things stay with us.
PROOF: Computers, Cars, Elvis

The above concept explains in the simplest terms why the concept of creating
mailing lists is still with us.  It works.

It is good for the people who participate.

THINK ABOUT IT:

1.  People keep participating.  This alone means that it works.  If no one
ever made money, the posts would stop.  They haven't.2.  It makes mathematical
sense.  I only wish I would have thought about it earlier, as I have seen
countless posts and could already be rich if I just bought into the "something
for nothing" premise that this system entails.

A recent study of classical economics has changed my mind.

I learned that all economic systems are based on trust.  This system is no
different.  If people trust the system, it will work forever.  All that is
needed is for people to THINK ABOUT IT.

Besides, its only 5 dollars.  You probably blow 5 bucks everytime you go out
and you never miss it then right?


                ***********  INSTRUCTIONS   ************

Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will receive a
great deal of US dollars IN CASH.

     >ENCLOSE A LETTER WITH A NOTE SAYING:

                "Please add my name to your mailing list".

up one position (Number 2 becomes number 1, number 3 becomes number 2, and so
on).  Place your name, address, and zip code in the number 10 position.

[3]  With your name in the number 10 position, upload this ENTIRE FILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

file to 15 (Fifteen) different bulletin boards, newsgroups, e-mail, etc..  Use
your creativity in this area.  The idea is to get as many people as possible
to read it.  You may post it to the BBS's message base or to the file section.
Name it FASTCASH.TXT, for example, and use the file description comments to
draw attention to this file and its great potential for all of us.

People will be sending YOU $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list.  This list
can then be rented to a broker that can be found in your local yellow pages
listings for additional income on a regular basis.

The list will become more valuable as it grows in size.

This is a service.  **  IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL  **

Title 18,h sections 1302 and 1341 of the Postal Lottery Laws.

        Remember, as each post is downloaded and the instructions

carefully followed, five members will be reimbursed for their participation as
List Developer with $1.00 each.  Your name will move up the list geometrically
so that when your name reaches the number 5 position you will be receiving
thousands of dollars in cash.

 And remember.  THE MORE TIMES YOU POST, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE!!!

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S.  Everyone participating in this program keeps track of all the names from
whom they receive money.  If you decide NOT to be HONEST, and NOT to send
money to the first 5 people on the list, you can always be tracked down and
sued, and I'm sure that you DON'T want that.

Well, in any case, we hope that you follow through with all the instructions
in this letter in order to keep this thing going.  If you do, you may expect
to start getting mail from your first clients in less than three weeks.

Good luck, and we hope that you can benefit from this, just like numerous
others from coast to coast, and all over the world.

The following letters were written by a participating members in this program.

*****************************************************************

To those with the COMMON sense to participate in this revenue generating
opportunity:

About six months ago I received the enclosed post inletter form.  I ignored
it.  I received about five more of the same letter within the next two week.
I ignored them also.  Of course, I was tempted to follow through and dreamed
of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just another gimmick and could
not possibly work.

I was wrong!  About three weeks later I saw this same letter posted on a local
bulletin board in Montreal.  I liked the idea of giving it a try with my
computer.  I didn't expect much because I figured, if other people were as
skeptical as I, they would not be too quick to part with $5.00.  But, I BUY
LOTTERY TICKETS WEEKLY IN MY PROVINCE AND HAVE NOTHING TOO SHOW FOR IT BUT
TICKET STUBS!  This week I decided to look at this as my weekly lottery
purchase.  I addressed the envelopes and mailed out $1.00 in each as directed.
Two weeks went by and I didn't receive anything in the mail.  The fourth week
rolled around and I couldn't believe what happened!  I can not say that I
received $50,000.00, but it was definitely well over $35,000.00!  For the
first time in 10 years I got out of debt.  It was great.  Of course, it did
not take me long to go through my earnings, so I am using this excellent money
making opportunity once again.  FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GET READY TO
ENJOY!  Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so
together we can convince people who are skeptical that this really does work!

                                      Good Luck,

                                                  Charles Kust
Additional notes:

This system works equally well if mailed out manually.  Mind you it takes more
effort to hand address the envelopes and the cost goes up proportionately to
cover the postage and envelopes.  You must also photo copy the instructions,
cross out the name in number one position, write in your name in the number
ten slot and change the rest of the numbers accordingly.  (It might be neater
to use white out or paste over the names.) In order to achieve the same
results you must send out the $1.00 to the first five names and then send out
another 100 letters with copies of the program enclosed.

It has been suggested not to put a return address on the outside of the
envelope in order to encourage the recipient to open it.  The return will
approximate that then received from the posts listed on the bulletin boards.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, my name is Steven Green.  As you may have noticed I'm the tenth name on
this list, so I do not have a rags-to-riches story to tell here.  However, I
did make a phone call to the 2nd name on this list, Ernest Loveday.  Did he
have a rags to riches story to tell?  Not exactly, but then I found out that
he did not follow the instructions precisely.  You see, EL lost faith in the
program before he had finished following instructions.  He only uploaded this
file on one BBS, which happens to be operated by Darryl McGinnis, the 3rd name
on this list.  Ernest told me that he has received $92.00 to date (1/6/90).  I
realize this is far from the $50,000.00 promised at the first of this file,
yet one must keep two things in mind:

  1. $92.00 is almost 10 times his initial investment, and it only took  about
     an hour of his time (there's nothing to lose).

  2. This program works mathematically on an exponential scale.  In other
     words, for every one BBS that this file is uploaded onto, it should
     spread to at least ten other BBSs and possibly a whole lot more. So, if
     Ernest had uploaded his file on all ten BBSs, he should have at least
     gotten a hundred-fold of what he has, which would be $9200.00.  Not bad
     for a few hours work and a $6.60 investment (including postage).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

******  HONESTY  *********

Finally, I would like to exhort those who become involved in this program to
maintain its integrity by being honest.  It is the only way that it can
possibly pay off.  In other words, be sure to enter your name at the bottom of
the list and not in one of the top five positions (actually this would be
ROBBING YOURSELF since it is while your name is in the lower positions that it
gets multiplied exponentially.

And, of course, send your $1.00 off to the first five names.  As I write this
I have not made a penny (that's because I have not uploaded this yet), but I
thought you might like to hear from someone at the bottom of the list, instead
of someone claiming rags-to-riches.  I hope such is true, and I'm sure it will
be if we all stick with it.  The potential is definitely here!
 P.S. Call me if you get rich.

Hi all, I will not say my name, as I wish to remain anonimous, but I have
something to say.  IT WORKS.  I am THE most sceptical person on the face of
the earth.  I saw this, and say _-=BS=-_..no way...impossible..then my friend
told me he did it...he said he made about 50 bucks..I said no way ..he proved
it to me..I decided, what the hell...I sent out my 5 bucks, and sent this
thing to about a 400 people, not to BBS's, just E-mail.  3 weeks went by, and
I FINALLY got ONE dollar in the mail.  It has been about 3 months since that
day I got my first dollar, and now every day when I go to get my mail, there
are about 3 dollar bills in my box waiting for me.  I have made almost 300
dollars.  I dunno about that guy and his 50 thous., but if someone offered you
300 dollars for FREE, would you take it?  Do this guys...it WORKS!!!  -ZGPA-

Hello.  I am at #10 now, T.  Smith.  (1/96) I have been racking my brain
trying to figure how to save money for my infant son's education.  Hopefully
my involvement here will help.  Every dollar that comes into my mail box will
be placed in trust for my son's education.  Please participate.  It's only 5
bucks out of your pocket now.  So give up that burger on the chance that you
will eat filet mignon later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello.  I have seen many times this kind of letter on the net. I decide to give
it a try. The reason is that since 1983 i catched the Hepatitis C virus during
a teeth operation in France. I don't know what the issue of my illness
will be but i already know that it has partially stopped my life since this
time. Hope it will work and hope everyone will keep HONEST.
We are all shearing money in this program, keep doing it that way and it will
work.
